System Engineer for Scania Special Vehicles

 

Scania is undergoing a transformation from being a leading supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to providing complete and sustainable transport solutions. Together with TRATON and our sister brands MAN, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, and International, we are working to shape the future of mobility with innovative and environmentally conscious solutions. 

Our values – customer first, respect, team spirit, responsibility, and elimination of waste – are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we are at the forefront of creating a sustainable future.

About the Role

 

Scania’s Special Vehicles division is dedicated to developing customized transport solutions for Defense and Civilian applications. Our System and Software group plays a central role in integrating unique customer requirements into Scania’s electronic architecture and ensuring robust, high-performance functionality.
 

This position offers an excellent opportunity to gain a broad understanding of Scania’s complete vehicle electronic architecture and system landscape, as well as a deep insight into the full software lifecycle within Scania and Traton – from idea and concept, through development, production, and into the after-sales phase. You will also gain valuable exposure to real-world customer needs, as many of the solutions we develop are based directly on customer requests and operational requirements. 

 

Your Responsibilities

 

• Analyze and implement special customer requirements within Scania’s electronic architecture. 
• Lead and coordinate complex assignments across multiple systems and teams. 
• Develop and maintain specialized functions for defense and special vehicles. 
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure seamless system integration. 
• Investigate and resolve system and software deviations occurring in field operations and production, identifying root causes and supporting corrective actions. 
• Evaluate the technical feasibility of after-sales rebuilds, ensuring compatibility from both a system and software perspective. 
• Act as a key contact between internal teams and external stakeholders to translate customer needs into technical solutions.

You should have experience with programming in C and C++, a basic understanding of embedded software development, and the ability to interpret customer requests and propose solutions. You should have an entrepreneurial spirit, taking initiative and responsibility for your work. 

For this position, we also imagine that you have:  

 

• Experience with the automotive software development lifecycle and embedded systems. 
• Proficient in both Swedish and English, with strong communication and interpersonal skills. 
• Ability to lead complex technical assignments and coordinate across multiple domains. 
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to see the big picture and dive into technical details. 
• Experience in export control regulations or familiarity with Scania vehicle systems is an advantage. 
• Familiarity with automotive cyber security (ISO 21434) and automotive functional safety (ISO 26262) is highly desirable. 
• Curious, structured, and motivated to learn continuously in a dynamic environment.

• A unique opportunity to learn the complete vehicle and software development process, from concept to customer delivery and beyond. 
• A collaborative and inclusive work culture that values innovation and initiative.
